My career through many modes of storytelling has always been driven by my fascination with connection.

How connection is made through a multitude of mediums and how it can set an audience on fire.

When it comes to professional actor training, stage combat offers so much more than just learning how to look like you can fight.

Good quality training can supercharge an actor’s kinaesthetic awareness — sharpening problem-solving, spatial awareness, and physical human connection — all while working under speed and urgency.

For me, stage combat has always been a craft of care as much as danger. Being an advanced combatant isn’t about just looking cool on stage (though it certainly does 😎). It’s about loving and protecting your partner at 100 miles an hour, under extreme stakes, while convincing an audience you’re in immediate peril.

That practice demands resilience, calm under pressure, and empathy. The best combatants I know are the last people to crack when production stress kicks in. They stay grounded, practical, connected, and compassionate — because that’s what the work trains into you.

If you want to be the actor who keeps a cool head when things get tough — the actor who can be trusted when the pressure’s high — then stage combat should be part of your training journey. Don’t just dabble. Go deep.

Because the truth is: the deeply human qualities it develops will strengthen you in every area of your craft.

…and yes, let’s not forget — it looks pretty damn cool too. ⚔️

Speak from the gut, but bring responsibility to the craft.

We’re training ourselves to become faster. The more you watch behaviour, repeat, listen and accumulate experience, the more your instrument begins to recognise without having to intellectually work everything out first.

We want that freedom. But freedom doesn’t mean irresponsibility.

In some ways we’re trying to recover the emotional freedom and playfulness of a child while retaining the responsibility and wisdom of an adult.

Our characters can be selfish, unreasonable, biased, contradictory, childish, loving, cruel or absolutely convinced that they’re right. That’s their job.

Our job is to become free enough to play them while remaining responsible for ourselves, our partner and the room.

Freedom and responsibility are not opposites. We need both.

Let’s talk about the 📷 in the room.

If you’ve followed us for a while, you’ve probably realised the camera has a large presence in the BMV studio.

Yes, there’s no denying images provide a great digital window in to the BMV studio, whilst giving our actors free shots of them in full freedom and flight.

But it is also part of the training.

Learning to continue to concentrate, listen and respond while feeling the heat of the lens upon you truly helps to sharpen your attention.

And for those wanting to feel more confident when working on film sets, integrating the camera in to the training helps creates familiarity and ease even in your venerable states.

Our favourite photographs are generally uploaded to a shared GoogleDrive folder for your group only.

You have the opportunity to delete photographs of yourself that you do not want retained or used, and you can download and share any that you are particularly proud of.

If you ever have any questions regarding pictures. Just drop us a message 😊 by @lozcarmichael

You don’t need to do this alone!

Actors, it’s a tough industry out there filled with wild highs and wild lows.

While we tend to be a group of humans who thrive working in a company. We often find ourselves spending most of the time hustling individually. The endless emails, submissions, show reels, self tapes, rejection, networking…..

You don’t need to do it alone.

Join our tribe for a community of like minded, hustling actors, focused on developing their craft and their careers together.
